Washington DC Destination Wedding Photographer: Terra Dawn Photography Workshops
OH MY LORDIE!!!! It’s seems like forever since the photography workshop happened….and let me tell you, sitting on pins and needles for forever is NOT easy!! I’ve been waiting to post the awesome work of all of the vendors because…..drum roll please…..we’ve been published on Style Me Pretty!!!
<-----My grin can't get any wider!!
So a little about the photography workshop, huh?
I met Pam from ATrendy Wedding to discuss my general ideas for the shooting portion (which May have involved a cake…some sort of flowers…and a bride but wasn’t developed to much beyond that….0_0 ). After about 10 minutes of her poking and prodding my brain, she came up with the BRILLIANT idea of a “Farmer’s Market” feel!! She said, perhaps a vintage truck with some flowers and fresh fruits and veggies…….
And THEN she started to really tap into my brain!!! She started to see ALL of the different images we could take!!! Amazingly (and I’m still not sure how it all happened), we managed to take EVERY photo we wanted! It was like….like….it just popped out of our brains and onto the camera screen or something (umm…without all the mess, though……)
We found the PERFECT location for the workshop with the Black Horse Inn, who provided all of the workshop attendees with a comfortable place to listen to me yap on about marketing, SEO and social media in the morning as well as truckloads of enthusiasm for the project!! She was quick to throw in ideas about the horses and where they should be. This project would not have been half as amazing (or fun) without her and her team!! Thank you, Lynn!!!!!!
We had a meeting with the FABULOUS florist Holly Heider Chapple who suggested we do a Strawberry Shortcake theme with pies and strawberry themed floral arrangements to tie in the farmers market. Her father (who happens to OWN a farm) even provided the produce for us!!
Katherine from KPHair and Make-Up showed up and asked “if it would be ok to do three hairstyles?” Did she even NEED to ask??? I will take as many styles as she can give!!! *le sigh*
Ummmm….YEAH!!!!! Seriously!! The enthusiasm was crazy with these vendors!!! Capital Decor donated the use of their tables and barrels and chandeliers (anything we wanted, actually). Blush Bridal in Gainesville, VA donated the use of the dress!! Ummm….can we say amazing?? Abby (the model) and I just about DIED when she tried it on. She kept practicing her spin and sitting pretty moves!
On that note…I want to request a special (and very enthusiastic) round of applause for Abby and Matt…the gorgeous couple who allowed us to photograph them! Abby was full of jokes and laughter and gorgeosity…and Matt (in all of his handsomness) went along for whatever ride 15 photographers and 15 vendors had for him. You guys are AMAZING!!
Abby, herself, is a photographer!! Check out her work!!
Check out more details below in the gallery, and don’t forget to check out Style Me Pretty’s post!!!
